OMAR MADHA Of Anglo-Indian-Burmese origin. Born in Dublin. Started directing theatre at 17 because he liked being useful to actors. He worked as a script executive and 1st AD, then wrote, directed abd sold his first short film to a cinema chain at 26 then got properly paid to do it at 29. Used to be all about pace and visual impact, but now lean more to the pensive nuances. Ergo, favorite films of late: NOMADLAND, THE LOST DAUGHTER and Fave book of all time: The Shipping News.
